Pains of Birth

"When a woman is speaking to you, listen to what she says with her eyes."

- Victor Hugo

Unlike babies, writers must learn to see before they are ready for birth. That is the reason they spend so much time crying about critics, agents, rejection, writer's block, "conspirac[ies] against their talent," having to work so damn hard, and on-and-on. They are seeing and feeling the pains of birth.
